It's a rare example of an entire show deliberately composed of Stylistic Suck tropes, featuring terrible acting and dialogue, cheesy plots with Anvilicious and dubious morals (including Attack of the Killer Whatever), many a Special Effect Failure, and atrocious camerawork, editing, and audio mixing. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a straight-faced spoof of B-Movie horror works and the whole idea of the Cult Classic.
and (to a lesser extent) his friends and co-workers are the only hope the planet has against the various evils that rise up in Darkplace Hospital, including mutant eye-babies, angry telekinetic women, and of course, Scotsmen.

Rick Dagless, M.D (played by Marenghi himself), who is the best doctor in the world ever, as well as a crack shot, action hero, and master warlock.

Rick Dagless M.D.In the mid 1980s, prolific horror writer Garth Marenghi created a television series so horrifying that it was not until 2004 that it was deemed safe for general release to the British public. Other times I just copied the plots from dead authors on whose work the copyright had lapsed. When I wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for television back in the 1980s, I drew deep draughts of inspiration from the dyke of my dreams. I'm Garth Marenghi, horror writer, although I prefer the term 'dreamweaver'. Reading is in decline, Literacy, Numeracy the three Ls are all in decline. We are seeing a dumbing-down of television. I fear that we're seeing an end to the quality of television that you and I should be able to take for granted. Todd's wonderful in this episode, and there are scenes with him and me where I think you're watching him as much as me. And sometimes you actually have to be a bigot, in order to bring down bigger bigots. If I want to highlight social prejudice, I will, but I'll do it my way. If I wanna start a sentence with a full-stop I will.
(Matthew Holness)Īs a writer, I make my own rules up okay. Without giving too much away, think Planet of The Apes. Now, I won't tell you which 'what if' it is, but it's basically along the same lines but with a different animal. In Black Fang I asked: What if a rat could drive a bus? And what if it and its rat brethren took over and ate Parliament? When I wrote, directed and starred in tonight's episode of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, I was asking another 'what if'. You know, my books are all essentially about 'what ifs'. Reed: It's alright Rick, we'll get another one. Dean Learner / Thornton Reed (Richard Ayoade)ĭagless: I just can't believe the Temp is dead! If you go to a Punch And Judy show and you're only watching the wires, you're a freak. But it's about the puppets, it's not about the string. If you go to a puppet show you can see the wires. But I think if you're looking at the wires you're ignoring the story. A pedant, might be able to see the wires. Not putting on an act, but putting on the truth! Dean Learner / Thornton Reed (Richard Ayoade)Īn eagle-eyed viewer might be able to see the wires. So here is Dean Learner, playing Thornton Reed. that he didn't want an act, he wanted the truth. I warned Garth, erm, I said, I'm not an actor. There's plenty of skirt on the ward, this is the 20th century after all though some don't like to admit it. Receptionist: Not really, I've just paged Dr. Liz: Sure, do I have time to go to the toilet? Our last doctor only just recently died in horrific circumstances. Receptionist: Well that sounds excellent.
I can assure you my credentials are top-notch, I've just graduated from Harvard College Yale. Liz Asher: Hi, I've come to apply for the doctor's job. I just hope I've changed the way you think about life. Dean Learner / Thornton Reed (Richard Ayoade)Īs a horror writer I don't ask for much. Exhausted, they collapsed on to the recently extended sofa bed. They tried all the positions: on top, doggy, and normal. Mary's body felt like it was burning, even though the room was properly air-conditioned. He whisked off her shoes and panties in one movement, wild like an enraged shark, his bulky totem beating a seductive rhythm. Garth reads out loud from one of his books
